In this episode of the Sustainable Energy Podcast, Benjamin Pan welcomes Gavin Adda, CEO of Peak Energy, to unpack how Asia’s clean energy market has shifted from an ESG narrative to a cost-, scale-, and execution-driven infrastructure business.

Drawing on more than a decade of experience across Asia’s commercial and industrial renewable markets, Gavin explains why clean energy adoption in the region is ultimately shaped by power market design, cost economics, and execution, not technology or sustainability narratives.

The conversation highlights how surging demand from data centres and energy-intensive industries is reshaping electricity markets across Asia, driving the need for scalable solutions such as high-volume corporate PPAs, co-located solar and BESS, and reliable power delivered at competitive cost. From Japan’s data-centre-led demand rebound to Southeast Asia’s race to attract hyperscalers, Adda argues that only platforms designed for regional scale, execution discipline, and financing standardisation can keep pace.

The key takeaway is clear: Peak Energy’s model is not theoretical. It is the result of a decade of lessons learned across markets, technologies, and cycles, positioning the platform to meet the growing power needs of data centres, industrials, and corporates as Asia’s clean energy transition accelerates.
